(2.5 is The Clone Wars; 3.9 is R1. I have not watched the Ewok films.)

Many people apparently actually like The Phantom Menace, but it is below AOTC for me because it can be entirely skipped from a SW marathon and no story would be missed. One might say the same for Rogue One, but I feel it adds to an already intesting story while TPM adds little more than fluff and nonsense to a backstory that’s just kind of okay.

Also, I only consider watching prequel edits that implement The Cutter’s idea of not-killing-Padme in 3 and edits of 1 and 2 that match up with said qualifying edits of 3. I don’t mix and match prequel editors’ projects, generally because there are nuances in the stories that don’t fit when you do that.

The Clone Wars film is at the bottom because I can’t stand the Ziro character (why doesn’t he speak Huttese; and why is his voice so annoying?) and the plot of rescuing Jabba’s baby is stupid.
